We performed a comparison between IBM Security QRadar and SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."IBM Security QRadar has significantly improved our incident response procedures."
"IBM has everything you need in a cybersecurity solution. If you want to build a cybersecurity operation center version then I think QRadar is a perfect solution."
"IBM Qradar's ability to simplify the number of events, not only on a technical level but by making that information easy to pan through the orchestration deduplication. It is very impressive given that we have hundreds of devices that send event logs through."
"The solution is relatively easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the searching capability and real-time operational use."
"What's most valuable in IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics is its higher availability than other tools."
"I have found IBM QRadar to be stable."
"Log correlation is very useful for processing alerts. It serves to follow up alerts in real-time, building an entire workflow."
"We are very happy with the stability of the solution."
"Simplicity is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server is its performance and management. Additionally, the solution integrates well."
"The best thing about Kiwi Syslog is that it filters logs into different levels."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerting based on the security logs."
"Search capability and indexing still lag behind competitors. We also need to see improved rule based access controls and rule/event tuning."
"The Indian tech support is not helpful."
"The user interface is a bit difficult to get used to."
"The threat intelligence functionality can be better. In addition, it can have more monitoring capabilities."
"I'd like them to improve the offense. When QRadar detects something, it creates what it calls offenses. So, it has a rudimentary ticketing system inside of it. This is the same interface that was there when I started using it 12 years ago. It just has not been improved. They do allow integration with IBM Resilient, but IBM Resilient is grotesquely expensive. The most effective integration that IBM offers today is with IBM Resilient, which is an instant response platform. It is a very good platform, but it is very expensive. They really should do something with the offense handling because it is very difficult to scale, and it has limitations. The maximum number of offenses that it can carry is 16K. After 16K, you have to flush your offenses out. So, it is all or nothing. You lose all your offenses up until that point in time, and you don't have any history within the offense list of older events. If you're dealing with multiple customers, this becomes problematic. That's why you need to use another product to do the actual ticketing. If you wanted the ticket existence, you would normally interface with ServiceNow, SolarWinds, or some other product like that."
"IBM is going through some problems with its resources currently making its support response time slow."
"The only challenge with products like IBM is the EPS. You just have to be really on the events per second, as that's where the cost factor becomes a huge issue."
"There is a lot of manual configuration required in order for the product to run smoothly, and I think that it could be made more automatic."
"I would like to have email notifications for emergency logs."
"SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server could improve by reducing the price."
"I would like to see better search functions and better filters in the next release."
"Technical support could definitely be better."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly and customizable dashboard."
